Nicer looking output in the terminal Visual Studio Code

Question

Is there any way to make the output in the Visual Studio Code Python terminal more readable?

This is what the terminal looks like after scraping information from my Twitch channel:

I want it to look closer to this if it is possible: Picture of what I want terminal output to look like

Answer 1

Copy the output of that dictionary and paste it into https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ and it will give you a nicely formatted JSON object like the one you have in the picture.

Also, remove the first picture, and paste the output in a code-block.

Answer 2

Looks like you have a JSON string. You can use json.loads to get a python dictionary. You can then use json.dumps with indent=4 to get a nicely-indented string representation.

>>> import json
>>> s = '{"first_name": "Justin", "last_name": "Ezequiel", "company_name": "", "address": "5665 McLaughlin ", "city": "Mississauga", "province": "ON", "postal_code": "L5R 3K5", "country": "CA", "phone_number": "", "shipping_cost": "0.00"}'
>>> print(s)
{"first_name": "Justin", "last_name": "Ezequiel", "company_name": "", "address": "5665 McLaughlin ", "city": "Mississauga", "province": "ON", "postal_code": "L5R 3K5", "country": "CA", "phone_number": "", "shipping_cost": "0.00"}
>>> o = json.loads(s)
>>> print(json.dumps(o, indent=4))
{
    "first_name": "Justin",
    "last_name": "Ezequiel",
    "company_name": "",
    "address": "5665 McLaughlin ",
    "city": "Mississauga",
    "province": "ON",
    "postal_code": "L5R 3K5",
    "country": "CA",
    "phone_number": "",
    "shipping_cost": "0.00"
}
